forgive my ignorance...
did any roundnose minis origionally come out with stripes? sorta like cobra style, not pin stripes...?

Not standard , some later coopers (UK) may have had an option for the bonnet stripes but not racing stripes over the top . They were a reasonably common thing for a while on racing mini's though and street mini's , they look good .

will check it out 2nite and get back to you.
